New Whitney Houston CD to drop Sept. 1

LOS ANGELES, June 4 (UPI) -- U.S. pop star Whitney Houston's first new album in seven years is set for release Sept. 1, her record label Sony Music has announced.

The CD marks the professional comeback of the six-time Grammy Award winner whose once-bright career was eclipsed for years by her highly publicized relationship woes and battle with substance abuse.

People.com said the title for Houston's seventh studio album has not been disclosed, but is rumored to be called "Undefeated." It will include the track "I Didn't Know My Own Strength," which was written by Diane Warren, People.com said.
